AMBODE TRANSFORMS LAGOS SECURITY FUEL DUMP (PICTURES)

June 6, 2017 AdminLeave a comment

Lagos State Governor, Mr. Akinwunmi Ambode has revamped the security fuel dump in Alausa, Ikeja to an ultra modern facility to enhance service delivery for vehicles used for surveillance activities by the Police in the State.

The dump, which was in a dilapidated state before now has now been transformed to a first class one-stop refuel centre.

According to the governor, the dump has reiterated his unwavering commitment to keep Lagos safe, secured and uncomfortable for criminal elements and their collaborators.

The total rehabilitation of the facility, the Governor said was in line with his administration’s determination to further enhance security of lives and property in the State.

The facility has a capacity to dispense up to 160,000 litres of premium motor spirit (PMS) and 80,000litres of AGO (diesel), while the analog nozzle dispenser has now been replaced with automated nozzle dispensers as well as an increase from four (4)dispensers to a total of twelve(12) dispensers with a newly constructed lube bay.

Governor Ambode, since he assumed office has shown his determination to give criminals a run for their money through huge investment in state of the art security equipment and improved welfare for the police and other security agencies.

With this ultra modern facility, he has once again made a clear statement of its determination to make Lagos uncomfortable for criminals and their collaborators.

Findings show that there is nowhere else in Nigeria where such facility run by the government is up to this standard.

This facility would no doubt ensure efficient and effective dispatch of fuel and diesel to security patrol vehicles in a more coordinated manner.

The Governor is fully aware of the fact that the major requirement for efficient running of vehicles is regular fuel supply and maintenance and as such necessitated the approval he gave for the revamping of the old and dilapidated fuel dump at Alausa.

LOCALLY-ASSEMBLED VEHICLES TO GET SPEED LIMITERS

As part of efforts to reduce the rate of speed-related accidents in Nigeria, the National Automotive Development and Design Council has directed all vehicle manufacturing plants in the country to install the speed-limiting device in their vehicles.
A deadline for compliance on the installation of the device in all vehicles being imported into the country has also been given.
AUTO POLICY CAUSING HIGH MARITIME JOB LOSSES – EXPERT

In a letter to President Muhammadu Buhari, a member of the Presidential Taskforce on Customs Reform, Mr. Lucky Amiwero, has called on the Federal Government to review the policy, due to its negative impact on the economy.
He said, “The impact associated with the implementation of the auto policy is as follows: the diversion of cars carrying vessel to neighbouring West African ports as a result of high tariff on imported vehicles; and the reduction of the maritime workforce by 70 per cent, which affects mostly licensed customs agents, importers, dealers and Nigerians abroad.”
UNDERSTANDING THE HISSING & SQUEAKY SOUND FROM TRUCKS

Ever wondered why trucks and buses make funny squeaking and hissing sounds? Well, the squeaking is the air escaping after braking and the hissing sound is the automatic bypass safety valves at work, ensuring the air pressure remains at the correct level.
Since a main advantage of air-brakes systems is their ability to use air to operate, the compressor is constantly kicking on and kicking off to refill the reservoirs with pressurized air. When the compressor builds too much air, the valves open, producing that loud hiss which probably gets some of us wondering…What the heck is leaking..lol!
SAFETY TIPS! COPING WITH POTHOLES

Hitting potholes can throw your vehicle\'s front end out of alignment. If you feel your car \"pulling\" during driving, that\'s a clue that you could have a problem.

Check the tread on your tyres. Uneven tread wear can be a sign of misalignment. If you hit a severe pothole, have the vehicle\'s alignment and tyre balance checked.

When you hit a pothole you can damage your tyre and/or the metal wheel of your vehicle. Keeping your tyres properly inflated will help reduce damage from potholes and other road hazards.

The impact of potholes on tyres increases dramatically with speed and can cause hidden, internal damage that could lead to tyre failure weeks, or even months, later. It\'s best to avoid potholes entirely, but if that\'s not possible, don\'t brake during the pothole impact. Instead, apply brakes before hitting a pothole and release them just before impact. Braking during the impact sets up the tyre and wheel assembly for a \"solid hit\" against the edge of the hole. Less severe damage occurs when a tyre is rolling than when it is skidding over a hole during braking.
